“I see. And where does this Dr. Freedman have an office? Portland?”

“No, she’s in Dallas and she’s the most renowned in her field.”

I put my hands in my lap and gritted my teeth, steeling myself for the fight I felt coming. “How am I supposed to get there? Drive? Fly? I can’t afford that, Austin. And then there’s Emma. Am I just supposed to drop everything and leave her? Leave my job, my family, everything and everyone I’ve ever known? For how long? And do all that just so she can tell me that I have a fifty-fifty chance. I can’t do that, Austin. I won’t.” I turned so I faced him. “I won’t do it.”

Austin tossed the remainder of his sandwich back on his plate and wiped his hands on a napkin. “Willow St. James, why do you think I sent you an email?”

I snorted. “The bigger question is why did you leave without saying good-bye?”

“I told you—” Austin began but I cut him off.

“Yes, I know, you said you had to get over you wife.” I squeezed my hands together. “I get that. What I don’t understand is why you couldn’t have told me what was going on. You said you loved me. God, I loved you too. So much.” I blinked back tears as the pain of his leaving clenched my heart. “But you didn’t trust me. You didn’t call or text or email. You could’ve friended me on Facebook. Instead you totally cut me out of your life without even the slightest reason why.”

He reached out to touch my face but I back away.

“I found out I was pregnant. Then I was told I had cancer. And then I had a baby. Those are huge moments, Austin. Huge.” As hard as I fought the tears still came. God, how many times had I wanted to talk to him, tell him how I was feeling, and now that I started I couldn’t stop. “And you weren’t there for any of it.”

“I know,” he said.

“You know?” I growled, frustrated. “You don’t know.” I slid my chair out and the legs scraped against the linoleum. “How can you say you know anything about me anymore?”

He stood too and came toward me.

“No. No. No,” I bawled, backing away from him. “Were you there when I had morning sickness? When I couldn’t even keep down crackers or water? Were you there when I went in for the first ultrasound? Or when the doctor came in and told me there was a growth on my spine? Were you there when the doctor told me I should abort the baby and start chemotherapy, or when I made the decision not to?” I covered my mouth with my hand, trying to force down the screams. It didn’t help.

Austin tried to come toward me again, but I stuck out a hand.

“No. Stop. Don’t come any closer to me. Don’t fucking come any closer.”

He stopped. His eyes were wet and he wiped at them with the back of his hand.
